The problem with taking risks is that sometimes you will be wrong. Sometimes you will be unsure. Sometimes you will be disappointed.
The problem with not taking risks is that all the growth is in the past.
And the past has a shelf life.
Then he (Jesus) said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed? (Luke 9:23-25)
Charis: Subject to Change 
Wisdom, Ms. Charis. What are you risking this year?

I’m not exactly sure, Ms. Janelle, but it feels like dwarves have eaten everything in my pantry and a very tall man is inviting me to go on an adventure. Frankly I like my life in the shire, but he’s rather insistent.

Love:) Enjoy the risk of the adventure, as well as the comfort of the shire.

Love the phrase, “the past has a shelf life.” We are called to leave the past and press on to the high calling in Christ Jesus.

Ouch. Risks are scary things. This is a timely one for me, Charis, as I contemplate letting go in a new situation and risk living with the results!
